Abstract

A turbine array (2) comprising: a plurality of turbines (4); an electrical machine connected to each of the turbines and to an electrical grid; wherein at least one of the electrical machines (4) is a motor-generator which can operate in a motor mode or a generator mode, and wherein the other electrical machines (4) are generators; and a controller (10) for detecting a loss-of-grid event; wherein the controller (10) sets the motor-generator to the motor mode when a loss-of-grid event is detected, the motor- generator being driven by the generators and thereby providing a load to the generators.
